Need to buy for work a compact that has a good macro function. We have a max budget of £200.00 and it will be used to take images for our website of product. Any recommendations.

I have the Panasonic Lumix TZ6 which i find pretty good for macro but no camera is going to be super at macro as the lens has to cover all types of situations.

Most compacts have macro mode and will do a good job shooting mountaineering kit. The TZ6 and TZ7 are highly reccomended by many on here.
